Welcome

Who we are ?

SOTOCO has been created in 1970 and was at that time only a local vending machines operator.

In 1988, the firm begins to manufacture in-cups and vending machines for in-cups. It becomes then the only French manufacturer of vending machines and distributes its products on the entire French territory.

In 1993, SOTOCO is destroyed at 80%, but work goes on in spite of everything.

In 1996, SOTOCO launches a new concept which is the RELAX mobile trolley for breakfast, that distributes in-cups and hot water.

In 1998, SOTOCO creates SOTOCO Service, which has as main target the local activity.

In 1999, SOTOCO launches a new product for supermarket chains: "Spoonty" is the trade mark of a product replacing the usual tea bag. It is a little spoon filed with tea leaves, covered by a filter and a film. "Spoonty" filters tea, is used as a spoon, does not drip any more (like tea bags) and preserves the full flavour right up to your cup.

In 2002, SOTOCO won the innovation price at the DA vending expo in Paris, with his all automatic vending machine for incups "TWIST". This machine has a new technology patterned by SOTOCO which give you an exceptional quality of drink.

In 2008, Sotoco manufacture a paper opercule cups ( world patent), for catering.
